NABO (Ninja Alliance Black Ops) Still Accepting!!

[MelisaArtemis]

So far its a kinda a mix of both. It uses basic Naruto layout and landmark but the story itself is original.

[KnightNelson20]

AndyZ- Like MelisaArtemis said its in the Naruto world but the storyline is my own. I have a few more arcs planned as well.

BlackLightning- You can make any type of ninja you want as long as you are affiliated with the NABO with everyone else. If you do not want to be a member of NABO you would need to have a good reason to why you would be with us as a group. For example Kaisude's character is not a NABO member but he is the protector of my character who is a NABO member thus allowing him to enter the academy and be with the group.

To everyone already involved in the roleplay be sure to check the OOC.

[KnightNelson20]

I work a double today and tomorrow so ill be on to see things and such when i have a chance but may not be till late tonight and early tomorrow etc. but ill be checking in. *runs off to work*

[BlackLightning]

I'm thinking about having my character as a Kumo nin who the 2 guys encounter in the village. a little bit of confrontation issue until its found that the orb is gone. Since the two NABOs are already investigating the case, he is ordered / volunteer to tag along. Good as the four NABOs are, they are still pretty much fresh from the academy, I'm thinking of adding an adult character in their mix.

I like the concept. And I can allow it for this arc. But if you want to continue with this rp for the other arcs i have planned you will have to consider joining the Alliance after everyone returns to the academy. Put up a cs and we can see where we go from there. I am always accepting new characters. And as long as your character fits I have no problem with your back story

I'm actually thinking about him being a relative "outsider" in this arc. I'll elaborate on my plan after I make my CS in the OOC thread, I don't feel right doing it here.

with no further ado... here's my character.

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

Name: Ryuuga Kashiba
Age: 22
Height: 6" 1
Weight: 165 lb
Eyes: Black
Hair: Black

Combat Aptitude: (Your character's ability in each style so far, from S [highest] to A, B, C, or D [lowest])
-Kenjutsu: S
-Taijutsu: A
-Genjutsu: D
-Ninjutsu: S
-Fuinjutsu: D
Class Aptitude: (Your character's aptitude in each class so far, from S [highest] to A, B, C, or D [lowest])
-Stealth: A
-Survival: S
-Chakra: A

Appearance: Ryuuga usually seen wearing all black and white attire which includes coat, shirt, trousers, a pair of finger-less gloves and leather shoes. Sometimes he also wears a face mask of similar color especially during mission but rarely seen doing so outside of it.  He possess a long sword named "Ryuu no Kiba" which he usually keep strapped on the his left side to allow him easier drawing using his right hand. He wears a metal gauntlet on his left hand which which covers his finger all the way up to his elbow. The gauntlet is physically bolted to his hand which means that he can't take it off even if he wants to. The fingers of the arm protector shaped like claws allowing him to use it as both melee weapon and shield unfortunately, that also means he can't form seals with them, not even ones for some of the basic ninjutsu.

Background: Ryuuga's first memory was at 8 years old waking up in a hospital room with absolutely no previous memory of his own. The doctor who treated him told the boy that he was found collapsed on the street and was taken to the hospital by a samaritan man. He ended up in orphanage for a few years until he got enrolled into the Kumo ninja academy. He graduates from the academy at the age of 13 and repeated rise up the rank until he reaches Jounin at the age of 18.

During one of his mission as a Jounin, his team was caught by enemy with most of them killed while he was tortured for several weeks before help finally arrived. Though he was rescued, his left arm was damaged beyond repair due to the torture done on them. With choice of retiring early or continue to be a ninja, Ryuuga didn't hesitate for one moment in taking the second option. Knowing that he wouldn't be able to form seals or jutsus anymore, he decide to hone his sword skill in its place.

Soon, he realize that his disfigured left arm would be a hindrance if he didn't do anything about it and he immediately looked into ways to compensate for the weak point. It was then that he met with a blacksmith who told him about a special kind of metal which was said capable of storing and transmit chakra from a person. Ryuuga immediately had the blacksmith to order the metal and create new weapon and arm for him using the metal no matter how expensive the items would be. The blacksmith produced for him 2 items specific to his order, a sword and a gauntlet.

Ryuuga proceed to voluntarily had the latter grafted by surgery to his left hand, allowing him to use the arm once again. Though he lost his ability to use jutsus anymore, he now possess two new strength and ability to compensate for them. By using his chakra in another way such as infusing his weapon and physique with it to enhance his physical ability and deal more powerful attacks.

Personality: Ryuuga is a man of few words but let his action do the talking for him. He may seem cold and untrusting, even almost arrogant at first but those who knows him will say that he is a loyal friend to a fault if not incredibly strict about his standard. Underneath his cold exterior is a fear of losing anymore people he cares about and desire for strength to protect them. He is extremely hard working who made the impression that the word "Training" might as well be made for him.

Skills:

- Ryuukenjutsu (Dragon Sword Art): Ryuuga's original sword skill. Specialize in quick lightning speed moves. With his sword infused by his lightning type chakra element, he can easily slice off armor as if it is butter. It is said that his slashes can be so quick that he can kill 5 people at once in a blink of an eye.

S rank:

- Ryukenjutsu: Ryuketsu Accel (Dragon Sword Art: Bloody Accel): Ryuuga slashes everything around him with lightning chakra infused blade in split second, causing a vision of arcs of lightning around him. Anything caught inside the lightning's area will be killed instantly, sometimes even the target themselves may not realize that they are already in pieces.

A rank:

- Ryukenjutsu: Ikazuchiryu no Gekido (Dragon Sword Art: Lightning Dragon Rage): More advanced technique of "Ikazuchi no Tachi". Ryuuga "blinks" from enemy to enemy, slashing each of them multiple times. Best used against multiple enemies but can also be used against a single enemy. Rarely used due to the chakra cost.

B Rank:

- Ryukenjutsu: Ikazuchiryu no Tsume (Dragon Fist Art: Lightning Dragon Claw): Ryuuga infuse his gauntlet with lightning chakra and stabs his enemy with his claws. Though powerful, the range is terrible and only useful in special circumstances or counter attacking.

- Ryukenjutsu: Kirameki (Dragon First Art: Spark): Ryuuga infuse his gauntlet with lightning chakra and smash it to the ground, creating electric discharge around him to stun the surrounding enemies.

C Rank:

- Ryuukenjutsu: Tsuribari (Dragon Fist Art: Hook / Fishing Hook): Ryuuga shoot a hidden hook weapon from his gauntlet toward the enemy. The weapon would pierce the enemy before Ryuuga pulls on the wire to pull the enemy back toward him. When infused by lightning chakra, he can also electrocute the enemy to incapacitate them. Also useful for climbing or scaling cliffs.

- Ryuukenjutsu: Shock (Dragon Fist Art: Shock): Ryuuga grab the enemy with his left arm before shocking them with his lightning chakra. Not very lethal but useful for interrogation or incapacitating enemies.

E Rank:

- Nawanuke no Jutsu (Escaping Technique)
- Kawarimi no Jutsu (Substitution Technique)

I'm actually thinking about him being a relative "outsider" in this arc. I'll elaborate on my plan after I make my CS in the OOC thread, I don't feel right doing it here.

No problem i look forward to hearing your plans in the ooc.

[MelisaArtemis]

Bumping this thread for more player to join. We are in need of ninjas, female or male or both works.

[Marie Reynolds]

I might be interested in this just wondering if the Minor Villages such as the Hidden Waterfall Shinobi be acceptable? Would it be possible to play as someone that was experimented on and was mutated into half Human/Half Kappa. Its an old concept I have had on the shelf for a while if it would not fit i can just go with a non experimented on Hidden Waterfall Shinobi.

[MelisaArtemis]

I don't mind about the waterfall village thing. The half human/Kappa though kind of confusing me, if you can give me a rough idea on what you are planning on your character (at least how is he/she gonna be related to this arc or if he/she is a NABO ninja?).

[Marie Reynolds]

Think of it in the same type of thing with Orochimaru experiments but instead to bring down a village to give the village an edge. Basically Genetic Splicing of some sort. Then the project was not well recieved and the results were given to Nabo or something like that.

[MelisaArtemis]

Hmm... kinda an interesting concept... though the only problem I have with that background is that it kind of implying that NABO is like... a dumping place for failure ninjas when it is actually quite the opposite.

Putting it simply, NABO is something like a mercenary guild where people who graduates from them are basically at least upper Chuunin or even Jounin level, basically if you want to join NABO then you need to be really good or have a special kind of ability. The basic of NABO is like this: A kid enters the local ninja academy until up to about Genin level. Afterward, they can choose to serve their own country (Like Ryuuga did, obviously) or to continue education at NABO institute where they can probably skip the chuunin level altogether and goes straight to Jounin.

You can compare NABO institute as a fastrack education in real life (You know... like the college where instead of taking your time to graduate in 3 years, they make you graduate in 2 years max by taking away summer holidays?) where knowledge that normal people would need to accumulate in years are condensed into at least half of that time.

So... if you can make it so that instead of him being a failure, your character was actually one of the few that succeed with that experiment, then you are pretty much just need to whip up a character sheet for me to approve. :)

PS: I'm saying that the experiment succeed on him/her but the experiment itself may not be well received and got axed halfway for some reason.

[Angaroo]

I'm interested if you still need more people. Just say the word and I will whip up a CS.

[MelisaArtemis]

sure :)

[Marie Reynolds]

Thanks Melissa Artemis for the Advice  If knightnelson okays the kappa hybrid thing ill be sure to use some of your suggestions for the back story since i was going to have to rewrite it for this game anyway.

[KnightNelson20]

Im pretty accepting of most things. Im glad to see this is getting interest again. Ive been debating waiting for the other characters or to start trying to move things again.

[MelisaArtemis]

I have to stress the main difference between NABO training and non-NABO ninjas though. NABO Academy offers fast track promotion but they are severely lacking on the field experience side. Meaning, skill-wise they pass with flying color but experience-wise, they are barely better than most chuunin. Normal Jounin who doesn't attend the NABO Academy (Like Ryuuga... I keep using him as example coz he's the only non-NABO affiliated ninja in this RP so far) will have much more experience on the field than them, its just that they take way longer time to get that rank compared to joining NABO. Which one is better? Hard to tell.

I'd be happy if we can get more character who only loosely affiliated or even not affiliated at all with NABO. I think it will give a little more spice to the RP :)

[KnightNelson20]

I agree completely MelisaArtemis. Ive been planning secondary plots and arcs for each character as they come. that way we have something to do whenever the current one ends. So the more outside and different characters we have to more depth will fall into the rp. Tomorrow I have off, ill message you some of my plot ideas and such. Thanks again for being my co gm, really helping me out :)

[Zaer Darkwail]

Well, premise looks interesting and I take it the game halted at start when others did not post or such as IC thread had not moved much at all?

Anyways my own idea is a rogue shinobi, taught by a missing nin from one villages (a orphan from village decimated by other rogue shinobi's). He had got his revenge already but his mentor died during the revenge so he had been roaming rogue shinobi since then.

Talent wise he could be pretty good shinobi who has 'stolen' several varied shinobi village secrets (or rather his mentor did and he learned from him). So he has some unique village jutsus like shadow clone from Konohan very least and kenjutsu style/craft from Kumogakure etc.

[MelisaArtemis]

Zaer, as long as your character isn't overpowered then its okay. Having a character that excels in everything is a shortcut to turning off others, I'm afraid you will have to pick a specialty for your character. He can either be a Jack of all trade and master of nothing (A - Cs across the board) or a Specialist (S for 1 ability, B - Cs at the others).

I admit I'm having difficulty imagining him as a NABO ninja though, a villain maybe or Anti-hero at best is how I can imagine him as. If you can make it work though, go ahead :)

[Zaer Darkwail]

As said, he is rogue ninja which means that he does not belong to any village. In his background wise he has never been part of any village as he got training onto arts through on road from a experienced older missing nin. He does not even have a headband but he has ninja arts.

Anyways I do imagine him to be jack of all trades type char, so two (or three) A's and then rest B's except one skill at C. But compared to NABO folks he has actual field experience and practical knowledge.

[MelisaArtemis]

Well, that sounds quite interesting. is he gonna be an ally or enemy? I think he will be quite interesting as enemy. the culprit of the current arc seem to be organized crime afterall.

[Zaer Darkwail]

He could be enemy, but he is a mercenary type so he was hired by the organized crime ring who is behind stealing the weapon (my char could had actually stolen it but already passed it on).

But overall I do want there to be chance he can turn into ally, as in Naruto some former enemies became allies some cases (like Gaara example).

[MelisaArtemis]

Be my guest, I just ask that it happens near the end of the current arc. Like... his presence as enemy balancing up the scale or something, if you can show his "inside" fight in your RP, all the better :)

[Zaer Darkwail]

Ok, here comes my char and bit his background.

Name: クリムゾン雪 (Kurimuzon Yuki, or otherwise known as Crimson Snow, call name as Yuki-san or Snow-san)
Age: 22 (take exception as not part of NABO group)
Height: 5'8
Weight: 180lb
Eyes: Deep blue
Hair: (Snow) White

Appearance: Besides the pic he haves his whole body (except face, hands and feet) is covered in fuinjutsu art made tattoos and he had been circumcised in his childhood.

Personality: Disciplined, professional minded, calm and confident without being arrogant. All this on surface interaction. His vice is peeping on pretty girls by using his ninjutsu craft (as form of practice and also vice combined). He has soft spot for pretty girls but besides peeping he has not done anything else with them and is rather intimidated (flustered) with aggressive or flirty girls. But besides his cool surface he is rather vulnerable inside if someone gets past it and start get peeks at his true character which can be easy going, humorous and man of simple pleasures.





Combat Aptitude:

-Ninjutsu A

Class Aptitude:

-Survival: B
-Chakra: A

Skills and Techniques

Bukijutsu: His weapon craft (and general shinobi tool craft) is well honed but he is far from being master but he is expert in several tools uses. His main offensive comes from employing said tools in creative and unexpected manner and his keen broad knowledge helps him when he is on defense against such tools. Some unique or more cleverly used tools may caught him off guard. But here are some his more common used tricks;

Ninpo wire guided fūma shurikens: Puppeteers use chakra wires to guide puppets in combat but Yuki haves no puppets but he had learned apply same technique to be used with fūma (or any thrown projectile) shuriken. He often feints with throwing a clumsy throw which passes foe but then with slight pull of fingers he reverses flow of the fūma shuriken and then scroll it rapidly back towards him and thus strike foe from behind with surprise attack. His expertise is good enough to control two of such shurikens and he may employ them as form of medium to close range parrying weapons against other projectiles.

Poisons&Drugs: As part of his studies he is familiar and also made force endure variety of poisons and drugs so he is more resistant to those substances and he often employs poisoned smoke bombs or poisoned kunai and shurikens.

Taijutsu: He knows only basics which he is well practiced, but anyone skilled in arts gives him tough time and he can easily recognize varied villages most famed styles and know stuff what he must avoid being hit by said styles (or what style does in general).

Genjutsu: He has well honed skills in genjutsu which has taught him also be resilient against genjutsu in unique fashion. But these techniques are not most cases useful in combat except few cases and it needs to be done when it's not expected.

Self-Hypnosis: The unique method how Yuki avoids fall under genjutsu is to employ defensively genjutsu upon himself (he needs reflective surface somekind) and he hypnotizes himself. So enemy needs to overcome his own genjutsu with stronger genjutsu which has more chakra to pierce and shatter his own genjutsu as genjutsus do not layer on atop each other. But rather cancel each other out.

This same technique can allow Yuki increase his own combat prowess and mental traits temporally slightly, it does not allow perform stuff beyond his own expertise but thanks hypnosis he has absolute focus in performing them, thus he is not easily distracted by most mundane methods when performing said feats. It can also allow ignore pain from his body and allow even make him feign to be dead (he needs preset conditions where he wakes up from death trance). Only skilled medical jutsu can reveal he is still alive but merely in deep coma trance which even affects chakra flow to go absolute minimum.

Mirage: A Suna village genjutsu which allows create a flickering image, it makes following your movements or movement of objects harder to the person. It can create appearance as if Yuki would be moving supernaturally fast when in truth he is moving normal speed.

Ninjutsu: Yuki has large variety of jutsus stolen from other villages and he has in-depth knowledge about them and he has unique method how mimic elemental aspects needed pull them off. He in practice is capable use all five elements (Wind, Fire, Water, Earth and Lightning) jutsus. His original elemental aspect is water but as said, he has unique method to change it to other element along with his trained gained element (Wind). Because of this those who meet him first time nor know his origins have hard time to pin down which village missing nin he is.

Shadow Clone Jutsu: Yuki is fond of Konohan's shadow clone, prefer use it over any normal clones if possible. He may not have same amount of clones like legendary Naruto was capable to call in, but he can summon handful (5) at tops and use them creatively.

Hiding in Mist: Yuki knows this technique and he is rather proficient in it, he can through self-hypnosis sharpen his hearing into such high levels he can locate shinobi in mist and fire off ranged attacks completely blind. And thus control his own breathing and cause little to no sound as he moves or attacks in case of others who can sharpen their hearing.

Running Fire: Yuki often uses this to split groups apart or use fire to burn/draw onto ground/grass some fuinjutsu seal quickly.

Divine Mind: Yuki uses this often for offense and combining it with Running Fire to create nasty fire tornadoes.

Chidori Senbo: Combining his high degree in chakra control and skill in element manipulation and tool use Yuki makes use of this devastating technique. But as he lacks sharinga his attack with this technique (or using a actual chidori) is not accurate and may be suicidal to use. But as he usually uses poisoned senbo's, he does not need but hit with just one onto foe to get impact with his poison. So he usually throws a blind barrage of senbo empowered by lightning.

Clay Clone: When not using shadow clones, Yuki may use a clay clone to capture enemies or their weapons with quickly hardening clay clone.

Fuinjutsu: Yuki's more unique tricks and trump cards lay in his art in Fuinjutsu, he has couple unorthodox techniques in this area field and is expert on seals to point he is considered master of the art. But some higher degree secrets elude him but even the stuff he knows now makes him formidable seal user.

Fuinjutsu body: All parts of Yuki's body, minus head, hands and feet, are covered in fuinjutsu tattoo. It allows two unique advantages to him; he has since birth have got adatable quality for his elemental affinity. Meaning he has unique genetic structure which allows potential to have affinity to several elements. However it has failed form a actual genkei kenkai to form any actual links and he has through training gained water release as affinity and wind release.

However, his sensei figured out how exploit his unique genes through fuinjutsu tattoos which allow Yuki to manipulate his own chakra lines and channels to able change his structure to mimic temporally other elements! So through using water release to change tattoos, he can change his two learned elements to two other elements or just one or two! However nature of this technique is temporal and it's exhausting to him to do so he can only once per day to perform such swap and it does not last longer than single fight (around 10 minutes). Also when he swaps he cannot access to his original elemental releases but he can cease the technique earlier than intended. Either way once revert is done Yuki will be nauseous and folding any chakra in his body causes pain and it's harder than usual as his chakra molding is messed up from swap and reverse for hour or so.

But because of this, he can mimic to have fire, earth or lightning releases and he can use combination techniques. Giving him a very flexible elemental release tool box. Secondary feature of the tattoos is to allow manipulate his chakra signature; not mimic any specific signature because Yuki lacks means observe other people's chakras such deep detail (but theory exist, as he needs just able see other's chakra signature in exact detail to make the copy). He could make his chakra register that of average person (non-shinobi personnel), a animal, a tree or even plant. Only limit is that he must mimic living things, not unliving things like rock, metal or stone or able completely erase it (but he can dim it very weak signal so he is harder to spot by sensor shinobi who depend spotting chakra signatures). It's perfect chakra disguise and thus seals or barriers which block by based on chakra signature (like block all human chakra signatures), it can fool them.

However, the disguise is fragile as any chakra molding shatters the disguise and it takes concentration to make a change to chakra signature and user must not be under any jutsu. Thus even if Yuki can mimic animal signature he cannot use henge jutsu to transform into a dog as his chakra still registers that of human.

Ink body transformation (performed by female): This unique jutsu works only because Yuki's body is covered in fuinjutsu tattoos and that his original elemental affinity is water (and only works when he has water affinity on). It literally transforms his entire body into liquid ink (allowing supreme mobility and ability to fit through even narrow gaps and immune to physical harm) and more than that it allows him dive head in to any fuinjutsu seals, seep into the existing seal structure and then rewrite the seals according his whim. Most sealing techniques need to be unsealed by proper technique, destroy seal or remove them. But this method literally allows Yuki to hack onto seals and change them and change how they work, or simply ruin them without triggering any traps doing so as traps mostly trigger on outside forces touching the seals than changes coming from whiting. But in this form he is highly flammable and so even weak fire jutsus cause severe damage on him, could kill him outright. Also flame is one methods how get him out from any seals.

Summoning: Naturally high degree in fuinjutsu allows mastery of space-time jutsus and thus Yuki can summon variety of tools or even people from distance. He himself has mastered people summoning so that he can use prepared seal to teleport to (activated by shadow clone who stands near the seal). Also he has made blood pact with nin animals and thus able summon them to his aid, in his specific case he has pact with shinobi mices, they are not most big or impressive of animals. But they are super sneaky and he can summon horde of them if need be to aid in combat any fashion.

Background:

Kurimuzon Yuki's tale begins in Land of Frost, which was slowly started inhabited after ending of fourth shinobi war, he lived in a nice little village in there. Land of Frost depended neighbors for protection and thus his village was defenseless when a gang of rogue shinobi, criminal shinobi, came and robbed, raped and killed and then burned everything in the village. He himself barely survived as one shinobi threw him onto freezing river where hypothermia kicked in while in strong stream and he was rescued by his mentor; sensei Shu. Sensei Shu's origin he never learned, but he was very experienced shinobi who had dislike for all shinobi villages but not real grudge otherwise. He brought Yuki to his village and once seeing devastation he swore for revenge and sense Shu then at first planned drop him off to one shinobi villages but upon Yuki's persistence he took him as his pupil and taught him despite his own advice for Yuki go learn shinobi arts from a village.

In the years on the road he learned through experience and the few rare 'training camp' weeks when they stayed some place longer time, he devoured the knowledge and his mentor taught him expedient methods of fighting and also variety of techniques. Not make Yuki specialize as specialists are good only if you got team members to cover the slack in other fields, but as Yuki was alone he wanted give him broad education so he can handle most situations as shinobi and those which he could not he could maneuver around them or simply run. They did odd jobs here and there, below regular village shinobi salary so they remained competitive choice for varied towns and cities compared hiring village shinobi (plus spares time to go to village summon genin to do the job anyways). Not luxurious life but happy life otherwise although Yuki's mind was constantly haunted on revenge and chance came four years ago, as sensei Shu asked did he still want go through it and he had answered 'yes'.

He and sensei went face the rogue shinobi group as they had got also fat bounty over the years, going to up to scale so that a team of jounin should take them on....but only him and sensei went there. They succeed defeat the group but sensei died in defeating leader of the band who was above jounin rank threat alone, sensei brought enemy down with him and thus saving Yuki's life in expense of his own. Yuki buried his sensei and he went and took the bounty cash alone and that brought hefty amount repute for him as many assume he did job alone but he did not comment about having his sense with him.

With that repute he became one most regularly hired mercenary shinobi in shinobi world....governments and criminal organizations alike hired him for jobs. But after his vendetta was complete he took pure mercenary alike attitude for his work as he has no real lofty ideals, besides distaste to bully and destroying or butchering villages.
